    You may want to keep an eye on http://slickdeals.net . There are always good deals on that site for Dell PCs.

    If you are looking for a good deal on a laptop; they have the one below real cheap.

    http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=856985

    I build my own machines, but I know it's not something that everyone wants to do. To me it's just more fun...

    Just keep an eye on Slickdeals, and you will find something you like.

    I'd keep an eye on WOOT. They often have some good deals on different machines.

    Agreed... Vista is not that good at all. It has a few advantages, but none of them out weigh the disadvantages. I use it on my laptop, but my work PC and all of my home PCs are all XP Pro. I think Vista will at some point go the way of Windows Millennium. The only real adoption of Vista is by new computer purchasers; mainly because they have no other choice.

    Since I don't use it, or even contemplate using it, what's so bad about Vista?

    I have vista on my laptop. I got the Gateway FX gaming machine. For games...No problem works great. The only load error I got was with Flight sim X, but a simple microsoft download fixed that. The games play great! best I've ever seen, but the hardware is more responsible for that. As for the OS, I don't like how it's structured. There is a setting to make it look like XP pro, but I havn't turned that on yet. Do I like Vista? Do I hate Vista? I can't tell yet.

    I will tell you what i don't like, All the new software and games that came out right after that REQUIRE Vista, Or XP service Pack 2. It's like they are in cahoots with Microsoft!
